Some of you may remember that a few years ago SLAS sponsored a visit and presentation from astronomer and science writer Ken Croswell. Ken has been invited to Salt Lake once again; this time his talk will be "Magnificent Mars." Ken has recently completed a new book by the same title to commemorate the recent Mars closest approach and (at least one) successful Mars missions. The U of U College of Science and the U of U Astronomical Society are co-sponsoring this event, to be held on Tuesday, February 24, in the U of U Fine Arts Auditorium, at 7:30 PM. Parking and admission are both free. Please plan to join us for what promises to be a thoughtful and timely presentation on what we know and what we hope to learn about Mars. We will be posting more information, such as how to get to the Fine Arts Auditorium and where to park, in the coming weeks. In the mean time, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me directly. Kim A.
